      Hi Papa,

      We apologize that you are experiencing lip-sync issues with your BRAVIA Theater Bar 8. This problem is usually resolved with a simple reset or update. Please first perform a Power Restart by unplugging the soundbar and TV for a minute, then plug them back in. If the delay continues, ensure the soundbar has the latest software update and, as a final step, try a Factory Reset by holding the Power button on the soundbar for more than 10 seconds. You can find detailed instructions and A/V sync adjustments in the official Help Guide: https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/208283c/v1/en/contents/075_Troubleshooting.html

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,
      Eliab Sony_US
